A "plastic soup" of waste floating in the Pacific Ocean is growing at an alarming rate and now covers an area Twice the size of the continental United States, scientists have said.
We spend a lot of disposable products every day. What do you think how many do we using a plastic bag or fork in a day? I think we use bunch of mount without any guilty.
However we don't have space for disposal waste in honolulu. As we know Honolulu is small island.
According to starbulletin in Honolulu, City and county using money for Hawaiian Waste Systems processing and packing up trash to ship to the mainland.At least 100,000 tons of trash to the mainland each year.
My topic is design part . So I'd like to introduce about successful solution though eco-design. Green Design is currently the hot issue in design association and many companies. In other hands, people want new design every single season.

-> Like this.
So, as times go by. New products are becoming more advanced and fancy new design. Also people want an easy disposal product with good looking shape.
Our propose is recyclable also easy to disposable! We must have both sides in contentment.
• Good examples
I think. Here’s one example of them. It’s brilliant design Idea.
(c)www.kodak.com
Kodak disposable camera! It good idea for specially Hawaii. Reason why visitor of hawaii people use a lot of disposable camera till now.
Hawaii waterproof disposable cameras are popular with tourists and are also a common solution for underwater photography by those who don't own a dedicated underwater camera in the beaches.
Now disposable cameras are still in common use through the entire world.
Disposable cameras, Single-use cameras are not actually "single use." They are fully being recycled. This program shows the Processes of sorting used cameras, removing the batteries, and disassembling them.
The plastic part of the cover is subdivided and will be changed to the pellet; this will be transformed to a new cover. Then, they are on the way to be new cameras.
This is one of Ideal type for recyclable also easy to disposable item.

• Our goal
For the purpose designer should have a green thinking.
First of all most important aiming is to make the world aware of the human impact on the environment. All people should aware of pollution problems.
Second, We knew how to difficult to disposal wastes. Not only shipping to mainland problems if we burned or buried, it makes a lot of toxi matrials also pose a serious threat to public health and the environment.
The only way to avoid environmental harm from waste is to prevent its generation.
That mean is we can prevent when we make a product, we must consider materials. I belive that is duty of designer.
-For customer (Specially Honolulu people)
We should aware of pollution problems. So we can consider not only visual design, We demand about environmental friendly material designed products and the one which are environmental friendly Sustainability design.(recyclable +disposable item)
That's result, Sustainable design can help part of solution. Also After we act well it helps payless to shipping waste from honolulu.
For beautiful natural environment hawaii, We should act by oneself.
Here are few recomant
•Bring owncup (It will save bunch of tree in your life)
•Buy less new products (or consider about environmental friendly material designed products)
<A>Anya Hind march
•Do not use plastic bag (Man kind using 5000 hundred million~ 1trillion of plastic bag, It take a time to decompose for 1000years and it is easily disposal in the ocean. As a result, A whale and turtle got sick after swallowed a plastic bag.)
-For designer
The most important thing is that designer must think about materials for green environment.
Also a few of the things design should consider during the design process are:
• Ways to reduce the amount of materials required for production
• Using paper and materials derived from recycled, post-consumer waste
• Printing with vegetable/soy-based inks
• Choosing the most efficient printing process
• Using vendors that are local and FSC-certified
• Conclusion
I love hawaii. Maybe we living here because of many reasons.
We must prevent our precious hawaii from small action. Right now.
Design, There are many way to make beautiful visual environment. To take example, packaging design, furniture design, interior design, visual design...etc Specially eco-design part is new study item. I also motivated about eco-design. Recently not only designer, all part of
commercial companise started focus on eco-design.There are some reasons for this topic. Eco design is currently the hot issue in design association and many companies.
Most waste product decompositions are getting longer because we designed new pigments. How come a lots of waste everyday?
Because of the overpollulation. There are 6.7 billion now. 20% of people using 80% of the resources.
UK consumed 240 Million tonnes of oil. oil is not sustainable source. One day It will disappear.
Plastic Bags took an Up to 20 years for decompositions, People consumption of plastic materials has
increased from 5 millio tinnes in the 1950s Every years. Lots of waste exports to China.
Here is a questions, what environment problem affecte by design?
The anwser is Yes, There are many situlations.
Like a funiture waste(furniture design), house hold waste(packaging design), colorful paint pigments.(interior design, visual design, fachion design) etc..
Accordingly eco-design is general reaction with global environmental crises, damage of biodiversity. How does design affect the environment?
Do we can have few solution for environment problems from designer?
If we can not have a solution from recycle right now, We could solute from when we generate product.
By using a less hamful materials.Choose non-toxic, sustainably-produced or recycled materials which require little energy to process

2.Past (and now) problem
Uses of plastic
Few nation already running the concept of green. Usually developed nation lead it and keep study about it.
Especially the UK is one of well-kowned Eco green design.
Packaging represents the largest single sector of plastics use in the UK. The sector accounts for 35% of UK plastics consumption and plastic is the material of goods.
Plastics consumption is growing about 4% every year in western Europe.
-Positive Way
*What is Principle of sustainable design
Energy efficiency: use produce products which require less energy
Low-impact materials: choose non-toxic, sustainably-produced or recycled materials which require little energy to process
Quality and durability: longer-lasting and better-functioning products will have to be replaced less frequently, reducing the impacts of producing replacements
Point of design view, the designer can make better environment.
For example, England designer designed bags that join with environment group 'we are what we do’. His name is Anya Hind march.
The concept is using less plastic bag. Here is picture. It made by cloth so people can use instead plastic bags. Also design is very pretty so people willingly to use it. Therefore, I'd like to say, the designer can make some part of problems.
Another good effect is the right use of ecodesign and environmental friendly materials.

Its an example of the right use of ecodesign and environmental friendly material.

3.What we can do?
We can consider not only visual design, We demand about environmental friendly material designed products
and the one which are environmental friendly Sustainability design !
That's result, Sustainable design can help part of solution.
<1>What is sustainability design
Most people like to buy good design of product. However, How many people considering environment when they purchase new products? How many people think about recycling when thy disposal that.
Painting or coloring is most part of design. Usually people start learn coloring to be design. In the past, the paint was Material for coloring, but recently people can Use computer for design and they printout by Inkjet printers.
I start research about Waste Product Decomposition Times, pigment of design matrials,
<2> History of Design pigments 1.Paint
The most pigments of new products has been changed. For example, the paint which is most important part of design, It used to real natural source.. Paint was made with the yolk of eggs and therefore, the substance would harden and stick onto the surface applied. Some red paint was made of blood of animals.[citation needed] Pigments were made from plants and sands.
But after Industrial development, The chemical dyestuffs was invented. So Pigments can be classified as either natural or synthetic types. They used to use more friendly resource than now.
2.Plastic
Plastics makes up around 7% of the average household dustbin.
Dr. J. Parfitt, WRAP, December 2002
The first man-made plastic was created by Alexander Parkes who publicly demonstrated it at the 1862 Great International Exhibition in London. After this time many household designed by plastic
The amount of plastic waste generated annually in the UK is estimated to be nearly 3 million tonnes. An estimated 56% of all plastics waste is used packaging, three-quarters of which is from households. It is estimated that only 7% of total plastic waste arisings are currently being recycled.
3. Waste Product Decomposition Times
Paper Bag (1 month), Wool Sock (1 year)
Plastic Bags (Up to 20 years) , Tin Cans (50 years)
toxic paints – Average household paint contains up to 10,000 chemicals, of which about approximately 300 are toxins, and 150 are harmful and have been linked to kidney damage, liver damage, or cancer. Even after application and drying, paints and finishes continue to release these toxic emissions into the air for many years to come. The source of those toxins are VOCs. Up until recently very high levels of VOC's were widely utilized in paint products and finishes. Toxic paints makes enclosed air safer to breath for people vs. regular paint. It also has a less damaging effect on the environment as it reduces landfill, groundwater and ozone depleting contaminants. VOC's are the second largest source of emissions into the atmosphere after automobiles. When you're choosing wall paint, look for brands that contain VOCs -- volatile organic compounds. These paints contain vapors that will deteriorate before they enter the atmosphere, causing harm.
4Being environmentally friendly can start from design
1.Recent environmental requirements restrict the use of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and alternative means of curing have been developed, particularly for industrial purposes.
2. Environmentally Friendly Design
LOHAS(Lifestyle Of Health And Sustainability) design concept is good idea for environment.
Summary and Evaluation of Sources
There are obvious continuities between environment design and health.
We are living in designed environment. That connected our life and health, that’s why we should take look more carefully.
Some paint pigments were made with materials now known to be toxic and hard to recycle.
The most problem is material, the designer should think about is material and people should buy a friendly environment design.
